We might have found our left back for the next 10 years.

Ref really didn't need to give the Brazilians any help.

Gooch has been very bad tonight. Definitely not first choice material right now (if ever again).

What a massive goal right before the HT whistle. Should be 1-1 right now.

I don't think so. They have some work to do, but they definitely did better at getting into position for goal opportunities. Central defense is an issue. I don't think Gooch is the man for the job. But there were some bright spots. I think the US has more options up front and don't have to rely on Donovan and Dempsey for all their goals.

C'mon NJ, they didn't look like Bradley's squad at all, IMO.

I actually think Klinsi learned a bunch about his team tonight. Bet we see roster decisions moving forward informed by this result tonight. USA was dangerous ALL night long. Could rarely say that under Bradley. USA easily could have had 4 goals tonight. The D needs some changes, which we will see.

Onyewu plus Boca together in the middle is a fail.

Totally dominated in the first half. Yes, they created a couple chances late, but overall I'm not counting any moral victories in a 4-1 home loss to Brazil's Olympic team. Bradley's squad had its' moments, too. Beating Spain. But it lacked consistency. We'll find out a lot about this team in WC qualifications.

I think the difference is that we saw a US side constantly creating opportunities. A Bradley team would have bunkered down after the penalty and played long balls up to a lone striker to hold it up until Donovan and Dempsey could join the attack. Bradley was more of a "play not to lose and just run with them in hopes of getting a late goal" guy. Klinsi has the team building up through the midfield and has been working the corner backs into the attack. I think this was more of a learning experience to keep the team working on stuff that they'll need if they want to go far in the World Cup.
